How can I change IE's homepage without opening IE?

Here's an interesting problem. On a recently installed Server 2008 64bit I opened IE and through the Tools -> Options I changed the homepage to iGoogle.com. Clicked okay and then clicked the homepage button. IE crashes.

Now you'd think that I could just remove iGoogle as the homepage but when I open IE it immediately goes to that page and crashes on open.

Obviously I'd prefer to find a solution to why IE is crashing on the iGoogle page but just to get IE running again I need to remove iGoogle as the homepage. Is there anyway to do this without opening IE?

Looking at the registry, the start page seems to be stored in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
